The flat rate per time is cheaper at WGU, unless something has changed at capella/walden I like self competency based programs and I heard you have a lot of proctored exams at WGU? I kept reading all over here these schools don’t and WGU does. Just my preference.

They are very specific course requirements you'd have to transfer in at the graduate degree level - do you already have some of the graduate courses completed through another program? It is unlikely you'll be able to earn them starting from zero at a lower cost than what you could earn at a terms cost at any of the options you have mentioned. 12 graduate credits is only 4 course equivalents, and 15 credits is 5. Most MBA programs are around 36 credits (approx 12 courses), so you're not saving much in time - especially since these are competency based (if you know the material, you can generally work through the subjects quite quickly). Is your undergrad in Business? I know that Walden has a prerequisite course you need to complete with them when you start the program (0 credits) if your bachelor degree is not in business (not saying this as a deterrent to them, just as information). I'm familiar with WGU and Walden, but know nothing of Capella - other than they are a well known for-profit; that alone would have me recommend out Walden out f the two you asked about. Also, like WGU - Walden is ACBSP Accredited, that is a big plus.

The flat rate per time is cheaper at WGU, unless something has changed at capella/walden WGU is self paced and one of the pioneers of competency based. At the grad level with WGU MBA, about half of your ten courses will have a proctored component as opposed to a project(s)
